RE: Who has a 2008 Challenger on order?
OK... here's the deal. I jump onto RLD and check out comments on Bob Frederick's last article in the blog. The last comment reads as follows:
(I have no idea what he's talking about) 
So I call my dealer... he says "oh you wanna know your status... let me look it up and call you back." He calls back and says still in status D. So I ask "just what is going on with the Challengers?"
He says... out of the blue... no prompting from me whatsoever... "well they're waiting for the June 15th event. They are building ALL the cars and holding them until the 15th, and then going to ship them all at once and make a huge event of it from what I hear." Then he says he will try to pull whatever he can out of his Dodge dealer rep.
Then for some unknown reason I jump back onto RLD and once again check out comments on Bob Frederick's last article in the blog. A new comment has appeared that reads as follows:
I think this is what they are doing... the logistics seem almost unimaginable in scope... but I really think this is what Dodge is up to. Anyone care to share thier comments and ideas?? 
Hey people check out the 2009 challenger web site and see 18 photo’s of the brampton plant and the cars.

OK I have been thinking about this for some time now, and as crazy as it sounds and Yes I know it sounds Crazy. What if dodge is Planning to ship all 6400 cars at once?! Great PR Stunt. No one gets to have their car first (months before another) All the Challangers hit the streets with in days of each other. Big announcement, everyone looking for them all running down to the dealership to get one? Maybe all this delay is just so they can get them all built and shipped?

Anyone out there near the Brampton plant fly a plane or know someone who does and take a flight over the plant to see if their stockpiling them outside?
A picture of several hundred Challengers would be not only neat, it would support several hypothesis' going around.
Hope the 08's get out and they get my 09 done ASAP.
